Reviews
"The carefully curated sequence of essays and chapters makes a significant contribution to the field of sound studies."
-- Aurelio Cianciotta Neural
"Like the field of sound studies, the essays collected here are disciplinarily difficult to define or contain.… The text may well contribute to the creation of an audience through the challenges it presents. This volume moves the discussion of sound forward by recognizing its aesthetic and ideological richness as well as its ontological instability. As a whole, Sound Objects demonstrates the potential for engagement with sound to reverberate more deeply across artistic, aesthetic, and scholarly landscapes, as well as the promise of richness that comes from examining our basic assumptions."
-- Maribeth Clark Notes
"Sound Objects provides readers with a deepened exploration of the sonic field while maintaining cross-disciplinary conversations to help sound studies further congeal as an integrated field. . . . The collection will also resonate with a wide readership through the range of represented experiences of sound with which readers will identify."
-- Kate Galloway MUSICultures
